Whether you seek a stylish holiday escape or a high-yield investment, The Coral Residences aims to deliver both.

With a track record that includes award-winning resorts, Dhaalu Airport, and Manta Air, the development rests on solid expertise, thus ensuring long-term value and peace of mind for discerning investors.

What Makes The Coral Residences Unique?

The Coral Residences forms an integrated beachfront community of 40 exclusive two- and three-bedroom apartments designed for modern island living.

  • Generous outdoor terraces and balconies

These residences lie along Kandima’s northern shoreline, offering privacy while keeping you connected to the island’s vibrant lifestyle.

Ownership That Works for You

Owners receive strata title leasehold ownership, which the Maldivian government registers and renews under local regulations. The developer sells apartments on a fully maintained, hassle-free basis. Furthermore, owners can resell or transfer their units, subject to the lease terms.

Your Benefits as an Owner:

  • Quarterly payouts, net of expenses
  • Full use of Kandima’s resort facilities

Ownership also includes lifestyle and investment perks designed specifically for international buyers.

Can You Earn Income from Your Property?

Yes. Apartments enroll in a mandatory rental program that generates income whenever you are not in residence. This program guarantees a 6% net return for five years. After that period, owners continue to earn a 50% share of pooled rental revenue.

Moreover, Kandima Maldives manages every aspect of property ownership, from guest bookings to maintenance, so you enjoy a fully passive investment with consistent income potential.

Owner Usage and Stay Privileges

Owners of the Coral Residences at Kandima receive 30 complimentary nights annually, including up to 7 nights during peak season (Dec 22 – Jan 15). You must book these stays in advance (180 to 365 days depending on season). Additionally, you may transfer your entitlement to friends or family upon request.

This usage structure ensures that you enjoy the property personally while maximizing its rental performance.
